Obama Trifecta:
President Obama just completed the UNHOLY and ANTI-AMERICAN TRIFECTA:
1st president in 110 years to miss the annual Army-Navy Football Game.
1st president to not attend any Christmas religious observance.
1st president to stay on vacation after a terrorist attack.
1st president to not attend any Christmas religious observance.
1st president to stay on vacation after a terrorist attack.
Add to that the first President not to stay in Washington for Christmas for the last 20 years. Past Presidents did not leave Washington for Christmas vacation until after Christmas. This was done so that their staff (Secret Service, Air Force One Crew, Limousine transport, Presidential advancing logistics, etc.) could be with their families for Christmas.

About.com answers these smears fairly well.

Suffice to say there is no detail of Obama's life and presidency that is beneath critical consideration for the right. Sadly (for them) they apparently can't find enough to criticize him for in the fact based world, so these kinds of lies and exaggerations about going to church and vacationing are ALL THEY'VE GOT.
Thanks, Bebe. Good link, although I already knew that some of that was complete b.s. For ex, Bush was on vacation at Camp David over Xmas 2001 when Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, attempted his attack. And Bush didn't speak about that attack until over a week later and then only in passing.
Rudi Guiliani can LIE and say that the Richard Reid shoe bomb attack happened BEFORE 9/11/2001, but that's a big honking fat LIE (Goooliani did LIE about this on tv recently, and the spooge pundit interviewing him didn't contradict his LIE).
And so, yes, rightwingers are stooping to LYING about anything and everything, including making up plain old stupid stuff about BHO's church attendance (or purported lack thereof) and so on.
There is no depth whatsover to the level of lying that they will not stoop. Be prepared for more of the same. It is tedious & predictable. Brought to you by fine "Christians" one & all. I guess because they believe in Jesus, it's ok to LIE CONSTANTLY?? (apologies to all Christians who do not behave this way; I know many who don't). Hypocracy much?
Fact Check already hit this one, too.
Come on people, don't you get how serious this is?!? If the President isn't physically IN the White House for Christmas (leaving only to go to an official, Christian religious service) , then Christmas doesn't really happen in America! Its in the Constitution people! (I think its in one of the appendices...)
And if he did go to church there would be consternation about the minister, the propaganda,etc. -- They never fail to find fault, even if it means lying.
What terrorist attack happened while Obama was on vacation? Because I don't remember hearing about one. I remember hearing about some idiot that set his underwear on fire.
Since when are failed plots now "terrorist attacks"? By that definition, football teams should be automatically spotted 3 points as soon as they line up for a field goal kick - success or not is inconsequential.
And so what even if a "for real" terroist attack happened while BHO was on vacation anywhere in the world?? God forbid that should happen at any time, but wingers would have a field day dissing BHO for not being psychic enough to KNOW when a terroist attack is happening, so that he could be standing by the phone in the center of the Oval Office (or whatever) at the ready.
Of course, when we did (sadly) have a terroist attack on 9/11/01, lessee, where was W? Oh yeah, in "exotic" Florida reading "My Pet Goat" to school children and NOT in the WH; after which W was basically missing in action for quite a few hours whilst he ran scurrying for cover in an undisclosed location, the coward.
Where was wingnut outrage and shrieking attacks about that? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. When 9/11 happened, wingnuts shrieked & ranted at Dems & progressives about totally and unhesitatingly supporting W, as POTUS, because to do otherwise would make us all TRAITORS.
Of course, when rightwingers deem that a terrorist attack has happened again, they feel no compunction about attacking and dissing the current POTUS & none of them is inclined to give their POTUS any respect or support.
Gad: hypocrits to the nth degree and lies all around. Disgusting.
If the President does not bestow his blessing on FOOTBALL, he is a Communist.
I'm sure Marx said that at some point.
